Humans,
Sometimes when autumn hits and the tourists subside, a bear who lives in a vacation destination city just wants to visit a theme park in peace. I know that’s the story for me and my family.
So I was dismayed to see the news from Florida this week, where an adult female bear was captured in a wooded area near the Magic Kingdom’s “It’s a Small World” ride and transported out. Chances are she just wanted to catch a quick boogie at the Country Bear Jamboree and traipse around Tom Sawyer Island, pretending she was there to scare Gold Rushers as they headed out west before grabbing a churro and hitting the road herself. What’s the harm in that?? I bet she even has season passes.
See, this is why my family and I prefer to wear clothes. We went to Disneyland last fall and – though we certainly attracted a lot of stares – we were permitted to cruise around all day and tour the Haunted Mansion to our hearts’ delight.
All that said, the lesson is this: if you have a friendly bear in your life that you care about, please advise wearing clothing next time he or she heads out to an amusement park.
But I digress. My real reason for writing today is to mention that our October Cow by Bear dinners have been opened for reservations. We are offering a unique fall menu I’ve been working on and I know will make you drool - think Duck Confit Cassoulet (an oldie but a goodie) and Pumpkin Spiced Agnolotti. Yes!
Pop on over to our website for reservations and get ready for some real fall-themed fun at our dinners. Just remember to wear clothing, especially if you’re bringing a bear as a guest.
See you very soon,
Bear
